1. FEDERAL WEBSITE RESOURCES

http://www2.ed.gov/fund/grant/apply/grantapps/index.html This website provides an excellent starting point to review and learn about the funding
available through the U. S. Department of Education. It provides links to currently
funded programs and also a search engine to assist in identifying potential funding
sources.

Guide to Department of Education Programs. This website provides snapshots of current available programs through the Department
of Education. This would best be used as a website to visit periodically to keep
updated on programs being funded. Because the timeframe between announcement and
the closing date is usually less than two months, this site should be used to monitor
availability of a potential project that is fairly well developed.

Office of Postsecondary Education. This site provides specific information regarding the U. S. Department of Education’s
Office of Postsecondary Education. It provides specific focus on postsecondary funding
which eliminates the much larger and more complex K-12 grant programs.

http://www.hedprogram.org/WhoWeAre/tabid/54/Default.aspx The Higher Education for Development is an agency that works in close partnership
with the United States Agency for International Development to promote international
education programs.

http://www.free.ed.gov/ This web site provides links to teaching and learning resources from a range of federal
agencies. It allows for searching by subject and individual sources of funding.

https://www.cfda.gov/ The Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance website provides an excellent search engine
to help identify subject and agency funding opportunities. This is the most comprehensive
resource of all federal funding sources. The down side is that this will provide
rather lengthy lists of potential programs for general terms.

http://www.whitehouse.gov/search/site/federal%20grant%20programs This is an excellent search engine developed by the Executive Branch (the White House)
of the Federal Government for finding federal resources. Here also vague or very
general terms will result in a very long list of potential funding sources. Thus,
for best results it is important to give serious thought to one’s project before utilizing
this website and to enlist the help of ORSP.

http://www.grants.gov/ This is also another excellent and comprehensive search engine to search for funding
sources across all federal agencies. This is also the main web site for the submission
of most federal grant applications.

http://www.oup.org/funding/upcfoundation/PubSearch.asp This is a clearinghouse search engine by the federal government’s Office of University
Partnerships.

http://www.higheredinfo.org/ This website provides data resources that could be valuable in preparation of a grant
proposal. It provides links to a range of demographic data dealing with education,
health, economic indicators, and degree attainment.

http://www.nces.ed.gov/globallocator/ The National Center for Education Statistics is another useful website to obtain
data on K-12 schools and colleges. It provides a wide range of data useful in documenting
need and supporting research initiatives.

2. STATE AND REGIONAL WEBSITE RESOURCES

available grant programs and a limited search engine.

http://www.ca.gov/ This is an excellent website to search out funding by the different agencies and
commissions within the California government.

for grants for postsecondary funding at the state level.

http://www.scdd.ca.gov/Grants/Cycle_31/Selected_Applicants_List.htm This website for the California Council on Developmental Disabilities provides information
and listing of grant programs funded by the Council.

http://www.fcoe.org/index.php?n=1 The Fresno County Office of Education provides periodic listings of its grant-funded
programs. Each county in California has a corresponding Office of Education that
also provides periodic listings of grant programs.

http://www2.co.fresno.ca.us/0440/Bidshome2.asp Most county-level grant programs are announced and handled through the Purchasing
Office of each county. Fresno County announces grant programs in a “bid” format which
makes preparation of the grant application somewhat different than other governmental
agencies. Please contact the Office of Research and Sponsored Programs for assistance
in preparing grant proposals to county purchasing offices.

http://www.asd.calstate.edu/performance/index.shtml The California State University provides numerous analytical studies and performance
reports for California high schools and community colleges. It is an excellent resource
for data in preparing grant proposals.

you can select categories such as on “Education & Literacy Grants,” “Curriculum and
Lesson Plans,” or “Regional Grants” and then “California Grants.”

programs. It also provides links to a range of larger private foundations headquartered
